A male United Kingdom age , anonymous writes:

hi. i just need to get this out of my head. my parents have got to be the most insensitive at times. last september, me and ex split. at the peak of our relaionship. its taking me ages to get over her. i am but its very slow. i think sometimes there's a little hope that we'll get back but i know that its not going to happen.

anyway, i cant talk to my folks about how i feel this moment in time. it usually ends up in a blazing row. this morning was the final straw. my mum keeps on about sending damned christmas cards because someone has sent them to me. but, i dont want to. i'll do it when i'm ready. i need to heal. she just starts throwing things in my face. its resentment.

ok, at the mo i have had to move in with them until my finances improve and my housing application is fianlised. they dont understand. i took paracetamol in sept with vodka and sleeping pills. i had to tell them it was a rection to some pills. an allergy.me and my ex were so close. she had bi polar. i know that ist not going to happen, but i need support thru this. it still hurts so much. am i being selfish

You've just gone through a loss and you NEED to be abit selfish and find ways to improve yourself. It just depends on what that selfishness mean. Are you bettering your self at the cost of making your parents unhappy or are you just trying to better yourself without any consequences. You dont talk as though you have any commitments such as kids, a job or a home. It sounds to me like you have a lot of self searching to do. Maybe you are leaning on your parents for too much and as you are in your forties you would think that alot of the stuff in your life would have been sorted. Your parents will be ypur parents forever but they have an obligation to you for 18years. It is up to you to try to fic=gure thing out as an adult.One word counselling. You need to discuss your deeper issues with someone who'll put things into perspective and find out why your ex broke up with you.
